Trautman had 70 catches for 917 yards and 14 TD's this past season. He is a pass catching TE that happens to be a great blocker, as well.

Some outlets had this guy rated as the number one TE in the draft!

I guess this makes me feel a little better.

No where close to the speed Graham had. No way he is anything near Jimmy in his prime. But that doesn't mean he can't be a traditional Shockey type. He's huge, big in red zone. Probably blocks well too

Well, Jimmy didn't do much when he left NO. Jimmy didn't have this guys resume coming into the league either. I'm just going to trust the process.

has nothing to do with trusting anything. Jimmy Graham was an athlete. He was freakish fast for a TE and tall. Yeah this kids tall, but that's the end of the similarities. Jimmy wasn't a great blocker. This kid will probably do better with blocking. They're nothing alike.

Jimmy was a hybrid

Not that Dayton is a powerhouse, but it says something that this kid is #1 in rec and yds at Dayton all time. He's far from just a blocker.
